Oilers have enough firepower up front to pull this off.


They are a more rounded team today.
- robin_steele264

Agreed, especially with the team sneaking Puljarvi, but it's terrible asset management.

Probably would have been better off dealing the pick for Larsson.

You can really see how mob mentality and the glee over others perceived failures works..


End of the day, the number of posters who have the first fuking clue about larsson can't be better than 1 or 2 outta 10

Yeah, pretty much. Just take it in stride and understand that this was the cost of doing business. I'm sure Chiarelli tried for a year and this was the best he could get. It sucks to lose Hall, but the team is well ahead in terms of balancing. It's not ideal, but such is the market for Dmen.

I'm happy I resigned myself to Hall being moved weeks ago.

Yak is gonna get a legit shot to shine. Get hyped for that.
- poisondhearts37

Lol, no he won't. He's still behind Pouliot, Eberle, PUJU, Lucic*, and possibly Drai.

The love and respect for how good hall is has reached all time levels all of a sudden !!

The timing is all so coincidental it seems
- Ihateallofu

The amazing thing is how people are suddenly such experts on Larsson's play, as if the masses have been closely following the play of the Devils these past 5 years.....(frank) not even Devils fans follow the team that closely.

Who says NJ takes that deal, though? Why don't people get that maybe they ALSO demand a proven asset in return?

I really didn't think it was gonna be hall. Still in shock. Big loss

But the market dictates....and it also shows that nuge and ebs probably wouldn'tve got it done


Need a little more offensive jam from the backend, but I think larsson might be very close to the piece we were looking for going forward

So Impressed to see an Honest Blogger


This Reeks of $$$$ getting back to Edmonton some way some how.....


Follow the Money

He sounded pretty amped on Reinhart too
- Iggysbff

I was going to go there, but I didn't want to say it

THEN YOU SAY NO!!!!!!!!

and you guys didn't want Hamonic.

He is not worth Hall.... not even close.

Nice player... I like him.

But wow...

what up Oil fans

We've pretty much known everyone was trying to bone us for years. Mact wouldn't bend over. PC bent over, spread his cheeks and spit on Sheros shaft.

I still can't figure out this one guys, absolutely brutal trade

20 year devils season ticket holder. Seen the best and the worst, Adam Larsson was an over hyped player coming out of the draft. And a product of a decade long piss poor drafting by lou lamerillio. The guy is slow to the puck, gets pushed off the puck on the boards and get abused by power forwards in front of the net. The one good thing he does is ice the puck, hence why he plays so many minutes. THANK GOD Shero found a sucker to take him.

Without andy greene covering for him, in two years the oilers will be looking to buy out or unload larsson.
- devfan30

This guy doesn't like Sweds. Don't mind him.

Lol, no he won't. He's still behind Pouliot, Eberle, PUJU, Lucic*, and possibly Drai.
- MaximumBone

Looch isnt a done deal. And Puju isnt for sure a lock to make the team. And with Hall now gone. You have to give Yak every chance to turn it around.

This- I wanted larsson over nuge from day 1 and I've tried to follow him as much as possible.
But who has the time to follow your own team and watch the fuking Devils closely ??

90% of the haters don't have the first fuking clue

While I'll agree we shoulda got a pick/prospect added, This deal isn't as bad as it looks. And listening to a few devils fans opinions that I both respect and happen watch him lots, it sounds even better...

I still can't figure out this one guys, absolutely brutal trade
- jaumiller

Nothing else was available. So PC loses a deal and will replace hall with Looch.

And who replaces HAll's production, a healthy McDavid, Ederle, Yak, Dra, Pul, RNH.

Who replaces Larsson, Severson?
- Devils9503

THEN YOU SAY NO!!!!!!!!
- muffin_man

Like MacTavish before him? So just bank on another overpaid UFA Dman to fix our entire backend.

Looch is done. Book it

YEah, he was so bad, he was clearly and far between our best dman. Says the guy who only talks about him when something regarding him happens, like when PDB benched him or now that he was traded.

Didn't say anything when he's been great since Deboer was fired.

Nothing else was available. So PC loses a deal and will replace hall with Looch.
- Iggysbff

And if that doesn't happen ?
